This study investigates three different post-modifying adjective
constructions in the English language. While English adjectives
generally precede the entities they modify, they may also occur in
postmodifying position. This study assumes that the different
postmodifying constructions are a positional variation of
attributive premodification. The support for this claim is derived
from a detailed analysis of the general syntax and semantics of
adjectives as well as a cross-check of previous theories with a
wide range of actual language examples taken from computerized
corpora. An approach from the Prague School 'Functional Sentence
Perspective' enables this study to accomplish an integrated view of
adjectival postmodification.
